In this episode, Staci Hegarty, IpX’s Global Director of Equity & Inclusion, takes on questions from listeners and our community on issues surrounding diversity, equity, racism, inclusion, biases, and invisible diversity. Staci addresses questions concerning:
- The true meaning of privilege as an unearned advantage that removes obstacles others face
- The difference between equality and equity
- The importance of inclusion in diversity efforts
- The reality of the “American Dream” for many
- The notion of colorblindness and the need to acknowledge ones’ different experiences
- How to acknowledge you own biases and intentionally change your way of thinking
- The need to recognize and accommodate invisible disabilities
